Chapter 840 Sun Shan's appointment also came down
After eating the sweet soup, I played with Jiujin for a while and then guided him in his schoolwork. The day passed like this.
After Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan came back, they told Sun Shan to check the flower garden today.
Sun Shan nodded and asked them to have some sugar water.
The two of them had been growing orchids in Jinling before, and today they happened to be helping someone check the orchids. Sun Shan had great confidence in them.
Sun Dingnan sighed as he ate the sweet soup, "Ashan, I thought there were many rich people in Nanjing, but I didn't expect there are even more rich people in Beijing. A small pot of orchid can be sold for 10 taels. I remember that we only sold it for 5 taels in Nanjing."
Sun Dali scratched his head and agreed, "Yes, a pot of orchid is worth that much money. There are many orchids planted in the flower garden today, and they will definitely sell for a lot of money. Oh, if we had known earlier, we would have planted orchids in the capital, which would be more profitable than planting them in Jinling."
Sun Shan smiled but said nothing.
Orchids are easy to grow, but customers are hard to find. Sales channels are more important than goods.
Because goods are easy to find, but channels are difficult to establish.
Of course, if your product is the only one in the market, that’s a different matter. Obviously, Lanhua cannot monopolize the market.
Sun Dingnan looked at Sun Shan, wanting to say something more.
Sun Shan asked, "Brother Nan, if you have anything to say, just say it. You are welcome."
Sun Dingnan asked the question in his mind: "Ashan, how can you tell others about your flower-growing skills so directly? This is your livelihood, you shouldn't say it so openly."
Sometimes Sun Dingnan really couldn't understand Sun Shan. When it came to food and drink, he was not very generous and was sometimes even quite stingy.
But when it comes to technology, Sun Shan will tell the other party everything without reservation, without hiding anything.
Like paying attention to insecticide when planting flowers, when the gardener asked him what medicine can be used to kill pests.
Sun Shan directly told him the recipe.
At that time, Sun Dingnan wanted to seal Sun Shan's mouth with paste. How could he tell the secret recipe so casually?
This is the guy who eats with their Sun family.
A carpenter's son is a carpenter, a gardener's son is a gardener, and Du Kang's son is Du Kang.
It is passed down from grandfather to father, from father to son, and from son to grandson. This is entirely because the top-secret skills are not passed on to outsiders but only to family members, so that they can be passed down for a lifetime and for several generations.
Sun Shan said it bluntly, and Sun Dingnan was very anxious.
Sun Dali also said anxiously: "Ashan, Anan is right, you can't tell others about your special skills, otherwise you will lose money and suffer a great loss. If you teach your apprentice to starve to death, no one will come to you next time."
Just as Sun Shan was about to speak, Gui Ge'er spoke first, "Uncle Dali, Brother Nan, our brother Shan is not really a gardener anymore, so it's okay even if he tells you the recipe.
Our Shan Ge will be a high-ranking official in the future, and being a gardener is simply an insult to his status. Shan Ge has been gardening these days because he has nothing to do, so he doesn’t have to think about anything else, and he can also make some money to buy local specialties back to Sunjia Village. "
After a pause, he continued, "Uncle Dali, Brother Nan, our Shan Ge doesn't take the matter of growing flowers seriously at all, so he's naturally not worried about revealing the secret recipe. These tricks are treasures for gardeners, but they are useless to our Shan Ge. It's okay to have them or not, he doesn't mind at all."
Sun Dingnan disagreed with Gui Ge'er's statement: "Gui Ge'er, Ashan's skills are indeed useless to him, but we can use them in our Sun Garden. The reason why our Sun Garden is getting bigger and bigger is entirely because Ashan knows how to grow flowers and has figured out the secret. This is the survival secret of our Sun Garden, how can it be easily leaked to others."
Sun Dali nodded repeatedly: "Anan is right. If we want to tell you about these skills, we can only tell them to our Sunjia Village, and we can't tell them to the outside world."
Gui Ge'er was dumbfounded. He had been traveling with Sun Shan for so long that he had forgotten that there was a Sunjiayuan in Sunjia Village.
He also asked anxiously: "Brother Shan, you have revealed many tips on growing flowers. What should we do? Will it affect the business of Sun Garden? Will Uncle Min scold us to death?"
Sun Shan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sunjia Village is so far away from the capital, it won't have any impact. You can just relax and don't worry."
He paused and said, "I actually saw these formulas in books, but I'm smart and know how to make the best ones. Even if I don't tell you, others will gradually understand it. It's just a matter of time. I might as well use this knowledge to make some money while others don't understand. Once I figure it out, it will be hard for me to make money."
Sun Shan smiled and said, "I have been reading for many years, and I have never even looked at the flower garden at home. How could I know how to grow flowers without any guidance? I learned this from books because I like reading.
It’s just that I read a lot of books and other people’s experiences, so I kept the good ones and removed the bad ones, and then I added and subtracted them, and it became a useful formula. I am best at taking the strengths of one place and making up for the weaknesses of another, so I have the ability to plant flowers.”
Gui Ge'er, Sun Dali, and Sun Dingnan looked at Sun Shan with stars in their eyes.
He is indeed the smartest boy in Sunjia Village. He knows how to grow flowers just by reading books.
It’s even better than those that have been planted for decades.
According to Zheng Dalang, Sun Shan would go to the "Jinbangtiming" bookstore to read whenever he had free time, and he read all the books in the entire store.
It turns out that there is a golden house in books.
If not, then it's just the fault of the person reading the book because he is stupid and couldn't absorb the content.
The three-member group from Sunjia Village knows more deeply that comparison is the thief of frustration, and those with the surname Sun who compare themselves to others will make those with the surname Sun even more desperate.
Sun Shan told them to work hard and make good use of what was said in the book to make a lot of money, and not to think too much about other things.
Speaking of confidentiality, Sun Shan had never really thought about keeping it confidential.
Since the so-called secret recipe is not his, it is better to let it spread out. Maybe someone with a predestined relationship can understand it and make use of it.
Like him, standing on the shoulders of giants, you can see farther.
June passed peacefully with gentle breeze, and July came in the blink of an eye.
Sun Shan's appointment was also announced. The moment he received the appointment letter, he breathed a sigh of relief.
March to July.
In fact, the days are not that long, but waiting is a very painful thing, it is better to end it quickly with a single blow.
Sun Shan's tenure as an official was relatively short, all thanks to his good wife.
Hehe, I must treat Sister Yun to a big meal when I get back to express my gratitude.
The moment the three members of Sunjia Village saw Sun Shan’s appointment letter, they wanted to run away and fly back to Sunjia Village to tell their fellow villagers.
Shanzi from their Sunjia Village officially became a high-ranking official.
Their Sunjia Village finally had a man who became an official.
Gui Ge'er shouted excitedly: "Brother Shan, it's finally your turn. Brother Shan, let's pack up and go home. Let the villagers see your appointment letter and tell them that you are an official. Uncle Min will definitely be very happy. Let's go home quickly."
Sun Dingnan said tremblingly: "Oh my God, our Sunjia Village has produced a great official."
Sun Dali's eyes were filled with tears and he said with red eyes: "That's great, I finally got here. I have been worried and unable to sleep these days. I can finally sleep well tonight."
